In light of reports about what Richard Zanuck recently said, this report, dated today, is quite interesting:
SCARY CHRISTMAS!In part it says: 'producer Graham King now confirms that the film will shoot in the fall, with Depp to play broody vampire Barnabas Collins.
"We're actually going to shoot that film early September with Tim Burton and Johnny," King said in a group interview'
However, the person who posted the report doesn't cite a source, so it seems as if there's no way to tell where she got the info or when King made the remarks. However, they do sound similar to remarks King made back in December. Remarks he has since backpedaled from. But there are also bits in the report that weren't mentioned back in December.
